The bonding tool fixing unit may be attached by an electrostatic force or by coupling between a notch gripper and a corresponding notch.

A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip disposed over a first main surface of a first substrate, a package lid disposed over the semiconductor chip, and spacers extending from the package lid through corresponding holes in the first substrate. The spacers enter the holes at a first main surface of the first substrate and extend beyond an opposing second main surface of the first substrate.

A curable resin or adhesive composition includes at least one monomer, a photoinitiator capable of initiating polymerization of the monomer when exposed to light, and at least one energy converting material, preferably a phosphor, capable of producing light when exposed to radiation (typically X-rays). The material is particularly suitable for bonding components at ambient temperature in situations where the bond joint is not accessible to an external light source. An associated method includes: placing a polymerizable adhesive composition, including a photoinitiator and energy converting material, such as a down-converting phosphor, in contact with at least two components to be bonded to form an assembly; and, irradiating the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength, capable of conversion (down-conversion by the phosphor) to a second wavelength capable of activating the photoinitiator, to prepare items such as inkjet cartridges, wafer-to-wafer assemblies, semiconductors, integrated circuits, and the like.

A uniform pressure gang bonding device and fabrication method are presented using an expandable upper chamber with an elastic surface. Typically, the elastic surface is an elastomer material having a Young's modulus in a range of 40 to 1000 kilo-Pascal (kPA). After depositing a plurality of components overlying a substrate top surface, the substrate is positioned over the lower plate, with the top surface underlying and adjacent (in close proximity) to the elastic surface. The method creates a positive upper chamber medium pressure differential in the expandable upper chamber, causing the elastic surface to deform. For example, the positive upper chamber medium pressure differential may be in the range of 0.05 atmospheres (atm) and 10 atm. Typically, the elastic surface deforms between 0.5 millimeters (mm) and 20 mm, in response to the positive upper chamber medium pressure differential.

A method of transferring a micro device and an array of micro devices are disclosed. A carrier substrate carrying a micro device connected to a bonding layer is heated to a temperature below a liquidus temperature of the bonding layer, and a transfer head is heated to a temperature above the liquidus temperature of the bonding layer. Upon contacting the micro device with the transfer head, the heat from the transfer head transfers into the bonding layer to at least partially melt the bonding layer. A voltage applied to the transfer head creates a grip force which picks up the micro device from the carrier substrate.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include method for sequentially mounting multiple semiconductor devices onto a substrate having a composite metal structure on both the semiconductor devices and the substrate for improved process tolerance and reduced device distances without thermal interference. The mounting process causes “selective” intermixing between the metal layers on the devices and the substrate and increases the melting point of the resulting alloy materials.

A mounting apparatus includes: a bonding stage; a base; a mounting head for performing a temporary press-attachment process in which semiconductor chips are suction-held and temporarily press-attached to a mounted object and a final press-attachment process in which the temporarily press-attached semiconductor chips are finally press-attached; a film arrangement mechanism arranged on the bonding stage or the base; and a controller which controls driving of the mounting head and the film arrangement mechanism. The film arrangement mechanism includes: a film feed-out mechanism which has a pair of feed rollers with a cover film extended there-between and successively feeds out a new cover film; and a film movement mechanism which moves the cover film in a horizontal direction with respect to a substrate.

A mounting device comprises a substrate stage, a mounting head, an elevating unit, a recognition mechanism, and a control unit. The recognition mechanism acquires position information about a chip recognition mark and a substrate recognition mark using an imaging unit. The control unit calculates an amount of positional deviation between a chip component and a substrate from the position information about the chip recognition mark and the substrate recognition mark, and performs alignment by driving the mounting head and/or the substrate stage according to the amount of the positional deviation. The chip component and the substrate are brought closer with each other and the alignment is performed in a state in which the imaging unit simultaneously images the chip recognition mark and the substrate recognition mark within a depth of field, after which the chip component and the substrate are brought into close contact with each other.
